        We recently tried to move a DEC RD52 disk from a MicroVAXII
to a GPX workstation.  After a modest amount of grief, I learned that
the RQDX2 formatted the RD52 in a way which prevents the RQDX3 controller
in the GPX from recognizing the disk.  It must be re-formatted by the
newer controller.
        I would appreciate any advice about where I can obtain a
formatting program for either the GPX or the MicroVAX II.
        Thanks for any consideration you can give us.
